Ed Hill - Somebody's Hero lyrics

She's never pulled anybody from a burning building She's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans screaming out her name She's never hit a shot to win the game She's never left her footprints on the moon She's never made a solo hot air balloon ride around the world No she's just your everyday average girl (but) She's somebody's hero A hero to her baby with a skinned-up knee A little kiss is all she needs The keeper of the Cheerios The voice that brings Snow White to life Bedtime stories every night And that smile lets her know She's somebody's hero She didn't get a check every week like a nine-to-fiver But she's been a waiter and a cook and a taxi driver For twenty years there at home Until the day her girl was grown Giving all her love to her was her life's ambition But now her baby's movin' on and she'll soon be missin' her But not today Those are tears of joy runnin' down her face She's somebody's hero A hero to her daughter in her wedding dress She gave her wings to leave the nest It hurts to let her baby go down the aisle She walks right by Looks back into her mother's eyes And that smile lets her know She's somebody's hero Thirty years have flown right past Her daughter's starin' at all the photographs Of her mother And she wishes she could be like that Oh but she already is She's somebody's hero A hero to her mother in a rockin' chair She runs a brush through her silver hair The envy of the nursing home She drops by every afternoon Feeds her mama with a spoon And that smile lets her know Her mother's smile lets her know She's somebody's hero
